This is the most entertaining book-review I've had the pleasure to read in a long while, it begins:
"I had to break my own arms to keep from slitting my throat while reading this book."

AWWWW...
Drunks and losers,
Dwarves with limps,
Flos and ho's and one-eyed pimps -
Down the alleyway they creep.
They're all your friends when you can't sleep.

And now a revelation.
For the few people who read this blog...
For those privileged eyes...
My darkest, most closely held secret...
Something you must never ever share with another soul...
Something you must, for your sakes and the sakes of all you hold dear, keep hidden...

I am...

I just Googled "Lady Saw" + lesbian because of a theory I have, and have had for a long time (Lady Saw is the DJ featured on No Doubt's "Underneath it All"). Her lyrics are full of the kind of raw, over-the-top nymphomania that it would take for her to succeed on the Jamaican dancehall circuit, but in her interviews, she comes across as almost androgynous, very Ellen DeGeneres. No heterosexual energy whatsoever. It's hard to explain, but if you have ever seen an interview with Queen Latifah, or Jodie Foster you know what I mean.

Tis from aldaily's bad writing contest page:
"The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power. "

"Paul says he was recently on the bus when an Israeli man went up to a Philippine woman in a seat and demanded that she vacate it.

"He told her, 'You're not an Israeli, you have no right sit in that seat.' And the woman got up.'"

Nobody, not the foreign workers nor the Israelis on the bus, protested, he says."

Yes, I know, I post excerpts from popular sites that everyone has seen already, or almost everybody since there's always a chance that somebody missed this quote from Wes Clarke: "And I'm very glad we've got the great team in office, men like Colin Powell, Don Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice... people I know very well - our president George W. Bush. We need them there."

Back in the day I used to submit shit to editors. Not even with the confidence that it would be accepted, just to know I had something out there that might get accepted. Might. Lottery-ticket submissions. There are probably a hundred or so editors who associate my name with seriously amateurish work. Okay, more like fifty. Since then I've had about 4 pieces accepted, that's one for roughly every 30 manuscripts submitted.

Cameron Diaz and Co. in Charlie's Angel's, Kate Beckinsale in Underworld, Carrie Moss in The Matrix movies, what's-her-name who plays Lara Croft, all of it video-game inspired crap masquerading a girl-empowerment propaganda. As if this bunch of emaciated rich white girls could hit anybody hard enough to cause a bad bruise. Mia Hamm could probably kick all their asses in five minutes flat. We all know it's bullshit and that's why it's so damaging, it's guys picking the one area they know they have some kind of superiority in most of the time (physical strength) and tossing out shaggy-dog shit that doesn't make them feel insecure. Why don't you see movies with something that could really happen, like where the women outsmart men without the help of a man? If I remember correctly Lara Croft needed a guy to do all the hard computer stuff for her.

Excerpts from this article on the porn industry by Martin Amis.

"'I like to be peed on. I like being spat on: it feels like come on your chest. I like to be choked. I like to be fisted. Here we have the 'no-thumbs' rule? A girl can have 16 fingers up her. But no thumbs.' She laughs, and continues: 'For vaginal I prefer a girthy kind of dick. And some of these guys' - Chloe seizes the broad base of a water glass on the table before us - 'are like this. For anal I prefer a longer, thinner kind of dick.'"

And after all this Amis gives us a ridiculously upbeat ending as if an optimistic prophesy will wash away what he has seen.

More of the jetsam of porn.

"The world rails against the United States, yet embraces its protection, its gossip, and its hipness. " This article by Fouad Ajami is dead on. Every critic of the United States I know presently living on the outside would have a heart attack if they knew that they would never see Miami/New York/ Philadelphia again, or if their families were going to be deported. Pure unbridled hypocrisy fueled by materialistic envy renders nearly all foreign critics of the US essentially liars.

That Lumidee song "Never Leave You (Uh Ooh, Uh Ooooh!)" irritates me way more than it should, ideally, it should be like a small piece of shit on the sidewalk that I've managed to avoid stepping into, forgotten as soon as I pass it, but its shamelessness, its derivativeness, it's clear intent to manipulate certain cornrow-wearing suckers into thinking that 3rd-rate crap is worth good-music money annoys me to the point of writing a long sentence.

I've had an epiphany. Actors are pretty much all dimwitted egomaniacs. From the pretentious acty-actors like Russell Crowe to the airhead no-talent trash like Alyssa Milano. They are crass, vain, shallow, and self-centered almost to the point of being sociopaths. Money and social prominence give them god-complexes that their 8th-grade sensibilities can't handle. From what I know of Hollywood's history this has always been the case there.

Rom 1:26 Because of this, God gave them up to dishonorable passions, for even their females changed the natural use to that contrary to nature.
Rom 1:27 And likewise, the males also forsaking the natural use of the female burned in their lust toward one another, males with males working out shamefulness, and receiving back within themselves the reward which was fitting for their error.

Okay, this gets posted because I've been hearing bullshit about the Bible not forbidding homosexuality/not being clear abou it. What you think of the Bible as a rulebook is one thing, whether or not it's specific on this particular thing is another. I think it's pretty clear. You can play tennis without the net of you want to, but it's not tennis anymore, is it? It's sort of pretend-tennis, bastard-tennis, quasi-tennis, but it's not really tennis.

"Dear Mr. Blue, I grew up in Midland, Texas, and went to Yale though I am no reader and married a fine woman who supported me through my Lost Weekend years when I goofed around in the oil business and got high as a kite on weekends and went around making a fool of myself. With the help of dear friends, I was able to sell my bankrupt company at a handsome profit and then obtain a major-league baseball franchise and get public financing for a ball park, whereupon I sold the team for a fabulous profit. What a lucky duck. Now that I'm off the sauce, I am considering taking a stab at politics. . . . . my wife says 'Why don't you try writing? You have so many good ideas.' What do you think?

"'My little Lenin!' Stalin once mocked him, tapping his skull, 'his head is hollow!' But this reputation was the best possible protection for Khrushchev. Behind it, he was cunning and hugely ambitious. Those who assumed that somebody so 'uncultured' and naive was incapable of scheming found out their mistake too late. This was a clown with very slitty eyes indeed.

That's the way you do it. Pander to the egos then cut the throats.

This does not constitute an endorsement of anything ELSE Khrushchev did.

I keep telling people that 99.9999% percent of the hatred that the rest of the world feels for America comes not from a war or wars in the Middle East, but from the fact that Americans are percieved as being rich and with (too) many opportunities. The perception results in a desperation to emigrate to America (among the adventurous and confident) and a deep, deeply bigoted hatred for all things American (among the ones who are terrified of stepping out of their little ponds). Among the most virulent US-haters are professors in little Third World colleges who, while deeply impressive to their students, probably wouldn't be able to get a job behind the counter in a Miami Burger King.

Being antiwar means you have to take a position radically different in every respect from the pro-war people and end up sounding as if people jumping out of skyscrapers to escape flames is irrelevant and trivial.

Being smart means you have to say even simple things with big words and complicated phrases and feel contempt for people who use mostly small words.

"Those Muslims who disown or even criticize their faith publicly are likely to be accused of apostasy, a crime punishable by death under Islamic law–a penalty enforced in a number of Muslim nations, including Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. But more commonly, the punishment for speaking freely is a kind of social death as the apostate is ostracized by family, friends, and community. Muslim moderates and Western scholars of Islam frequently cite the Koranic verse that affirms there is no compulsion in religion. Yet the weight of Islamic tradition, including the Koran, compels a Muslim to remain Muslim."

Saw 12 Monkeys again last night. Terry Gilliam is such a cool storyteller, I like to think that if I was a director that's how I would do it, loud , garish, fast, complex, like a 19th century bordello decorated by a genius (if slightly nuts) madame.

Let me tell you who Sean Paul is. He's the Vanilla Ice of the Jamaican music industry. He has zero credibility as a real performer, he's a rich boy in the ghetto school where Beenie Man, Bounty Killa and Elephant Man are the real men. He tried to rough up his image a little bit by cursing on stage at Sum Fest. Most people saw right through it, and still see him as a pretender. He is no 50 Cent, almost certainly hasn't ever seen an illegal gun or a rock of crack in his life.

So you have this woman who looks like one of Anna Nicole Smith's relatives i.e. no teeth, living in a grungy trailer home, she has 8 cats, showers twice a week. She is in her 30s and has NO teeth. But she assumes that every male foreigner (or person she thinks is a foreigner) she encounters is going to hit on her for a visa or money. Do people really want visas that badly?

Why are young American women so incredibly naive? Young American women seem more prone to the delusion (one that many Americans of all races share) that movies represent real life, that everybody not like them can be condensed into a caricature (whether it be a evil foreigner or a nice one).

First it was, "you're not patriotic if you don't want to bomb Iraqis!" or, on the other side, "you're a racist for wanting to kill terrorists!"
Everybody is so fucking smart and so fucking righteous and you have to be either Bill O'Reilly or Noam Chomsky or you don't have any friends.

I have intention of turning this page into another Kobewatch, but I have to ask, why shouldn't the name of the accuser be made public, her picture shown? Did Katelyn Faber see in Kobe Bryant another Mike Tyson? A potential settlement jackpot just waiting for the right woman to make the pick-up? Is there a woman on planet earth dumb enough to find herself alone in a hotel room with a man, let alone a pro-athlete, unless she intends to have sex? Am I being unreasonable?

On a white man smoking looks cool and dangerous, take Bruce Willis in Die Hard, if that movie didn't start a whole generation of men smoking nothing else on earth could. Cigarette smoke to John Maclaine was like food, like love. On a black guy it looks coarse and desperate. A black man exhaling smoke, on film or anywhere else, looks desperate, like someone with little to live for. Mind you, it does make you look tougher, more thuggish, maybe that's the idea, the 50 Cent cancer stick makeover.

I'm not a Kobe Bryant fan, I don't like wunderkinds, and I don't like overhyped superstars but it's just way too easy to destroy someone's reputation without consequences to yourself. I don't know whether Ms Faber is lying or not but there seems to very a very good (better than usual) chance that she is, so why shouldn't she face the glare of public scrutiny?

The accuser?

I'm 29 years-old and I like Blink 182 (their music and only their music, let's get that clear right now). Is there something wrong with me? Could it be that what my family has always thought but never had the courage to say is really true? Am I retarded? Are there others like me? Oh, and I like Good Charlotte, Sum41 sounds good sometimes too.

Help.

Because I figure that you should know what I think on all matters I now offer a few thinks on the war-thing.

Anti-warism was (is?) mostly a liberal fashion-accessory, not the product of moral conviction. The majority of 1st World people against the war hold that position because it fits a certain popular aesthetic, a vegan, anti-gm foods, Bob Marley-loving, whale-saving, ostentatiously "righteous" life-style. Wholesale pacifism's distance in logic from the way the real world works is the product of middleclass naivete and escapist thinking. Being against the war and against Dubya is just a means of therapy, an opportunity for contrarian venting among sheep, to feel smarter and more decent than your neighbor.

This is of course, vastly different from believing that violence should only be used in cases of very direct and very immediate threat.

So there.

Take a good, hard look at the people around you. They have this way of just falling into stereotypes regardless of race or culture. Every country has its “local yokels”, smalltown morons who have acquired the notion that they are possessed of wit and intellect. There the lonely, abandoned older women who dress like their daughters and rely on the compliments of other lonely older women to keep their heads above depression. Sudden wealth makes ordinary people into fools and America is the symbol of all things good or evil, to be worshipped, envied, hated or all three, never really ignored, though. People get old striving for the wrong things, look for any reason to feel contempt for their neighbor, and/or to smile at the mirror. Racism, homophobia, xenophobia sexism, all are 3 Stooges-style gags, mutual eyepokes that show us to be just as dumb as we believe we’re not (but the other guy is).

I, of course, except myself from all of the above.

The slyly dishonest BBC are now carrying their anti-American politics into the area of personal destruction. They keep referring to Toby Studebaker as a Marine or “former Marine” a) as if there is no difference between the two, and b) as if it is in anyway relevant. It is an effort, presumably, to tar the Corps (by association) who are now engaged in a war with which the BBC does not agree. It does not matter if he knew her age, he was once a Marine and all Marines are evil. The BBC is apparently so hungry for press that might put America or Americans in a bad light that it has gone about destroying this man’s reputation long before the facts of the case have become known.

Don't you just love that new template smell?

People are stupid. Yes, I know, hardly a life-changing revelation, but sometimes it amazes me how incapable people are of relating to anything, to anybody, to any concept, intellectually. The have to have a picture printed in color. They have to know how tall you are before they fall in love, their friends have to agree that it's not weird before they even consider it. I am amazed that books (without pictures) still get sold.

I want you to touch me, I want to feel your hands pressed against my face. I do. Everything I don’t know about women I want to find out from you, you and no one else. I want everything, no lies, no gimmicks. The smell of your hair and your belief that life can be like a movie, that yes, people really can be that open and I can tell you what I feel, and things can happen just between us that no one else who has ever existed could ever understand, that is what I need.
